RedNotepad

- Introduction -

Ever alt-tab out of Night City to jot something down? I do it all the time. Both when coding and testing but also while just playing the game. So I wrote this to help me; RedNotepad keeps it all in-game: press a hotkey, a notepad opens, you type, it saves. That's it.

This is the pure RedScript successor to my old CET-based notepad (never released) built on the same UI framework as my configurator. Your notes are plain .txt files on disk, so you can read and edit them outside the game too.

TL;DR - An actual notepad, inside the game, no CET!  (｡◕‿◕｡)

- Features -

• []Two ways in - click RedNotepad in the Configure Mods picker and the notepad itself opens; or bind a hotkey (with an optional hold-modifier, e.g. Shift + F1) for one-press access from gameplay or the main menu. Press the hotkey again to close; notes save automatically.[/]

  []Multiple notes - a list on the left, the editor on the right. New, Rename, Delete and Options from the header; deletion asks first, Options jumps to the settings page (hotkey, text size, autosave). A Return button takes you straight back to the mod picker if you opened RedNotepad from there.[/]

  []A real editor - click the text to start typing. Caret with arrow-key movement (including up/down through lines), Home/End, Backspace/Delete, Shift for capitals, Enter for new lines. Ln/Col readout up top.[/]

  []Never lose a word - notes save when you close the window, when you switch notes, and (by default) every 30 seconds while you type. An marker shows pending changes.[/]

  []Plain text files - each note is a .txt at

  r6\storages\RedNotepadEdit them in any editor while the game is closed; the notepad picks them up.[/]

  - Good to Know -

  The editor reads raw keys, so the character map is a bit weird for symbols (Shift+2 = @, but some you'll have to chase) regardless of your Windows keyboard layout - letters and digits are always right. Held keys do not auto-repeat (tap Backspace rather than holding it). Notes cap at 30000 characters each.

  - Updates -

  1. 1. 0 - Big-window mode matching the Config Framework's Big UI (own per-context toggles in Options), with a top strip: note filter box, Prev/Next hopping and the current note's name.

  1. 0. 0 - Initial RedScript release: full rewrite of the CET version. Hotkey, note list, caret editor, autosave, plain .txt storage.
